It's a plaster replica that was on exhibit in the late 40s. Probably just got broken and no one cared, because as the article states "Its director, Jérôme le Blay, told AFP that the disappearance was ‘regrettable, but must be put into the context of the times’, as plaster works did not arouse much interest in the 1940s."

plaster works did not arouse much interest in the 1940s.
And a statue by Rodin apparently doesn't either, whether plaster or real. For something to be missing 75 years before being noticed, not exactly a hot item there!
